I Am Number Four

John: This is the part I hate the most: the running. But it's the only thing in my life that is real. The rest is a lie, even Henry. People think he's my father, he's not. He's a warrior from my planet, designed to keep me alive. I don't remember my father. All he left for me was some kind of box. Henry says he'll pass it on to me when the time is right. I got my first scar when I was nine years old, at the border of Mexico. It woke me in my sleep. It was the first sign that the Mogadorians had found us here on Earth. The second scar came when I was twelve. I was in Colorado, in the middle of a spelling bee. As soon as I felt it, I knew Number Two was dead. Last night I got my third scar. I was just a kid when the Mogadorians invaded my planet. Nine of us children escaped. We were gifted, meant to protect our people when we grew up. We never got the chance, everyone was killed. We are the last of our kind. Three of us are gone. Dead. They are hunting us down one by one in order. I know I am next. I am Number Four.

Dad: Worst advice you ever got? Pull this.
Mom: Your parents will never know you're gone.
Sarah: Oh, mom. Telling me that self tanner looks totally natural.
Brother: She was orange.
Sarah: Like a traffic cone, on picture day.

John: What, you're allowed to look at everyone else-take our pictures- and we're not allowed see you?
Sarah: Okay, that's enough.
John: Seems like you want to run away.
Sarah: Just be happy when I can get out of here.
John: I don't know - been to a lot of places...
Sarah: You don't have to give me that "there's no place like home" speech, I've heard it.
John: No, No. You can go wherever you want. See whatever you want to but, um... a place is only as good as the people you know in it. I... I think this is a pretty good place.

Mark: Did you have a nice time last night, John? You see, in football, a quarterback needs a few things: speed, strength, mostly though, you need intuition. A feeling when things are going south. First time we talked I should have listened to mine. There you go, John. Good boy. Maybe you got some intuition working for you too.

John: It's not my fight and it never was. I can't even remember a world before this one.

Sam: My entire childhood has been an episode of X-files. You know what it's like to feel something so strong, and everyday you keep telling yourself your Dad's gonna come back and take you away from this shit hole? And that everything that we believed in was true, and that we're not crazy. Please.

Number 6: Red bullets is for pussies.

John: This is the first time I've left without Henry. But also the first one I have a reason to come back to. Henry was right. We're stronger together. So we will find the others. My planet is called Lorian, but Earth is my home now. It is as good a place as any in the universe, and that's how it's going to stay.
